Because they use unsupported hacks that changed in Big Sur. And have you tried Synology assistant? The only way to start memory test? Yea, it’s crashing. Why? Because they know their apps are marketing driven gimmicks to sell hardware and services and spending more resources on staff is counterproductive. Why? Because Synology does not have macOS developers who know what they are doing. They were not excluded from time machine backup, mind you. Not joking, it was 900MB of drive logs in my home folder. Can this be disabled if I don’t want your support but want my battery life and ssd space back? No. I’ve also asked Synology why does Drive need to write verbose logs to disk in such ridiculous amounts and they said “to help us help customers triage issues”. It generates massive amount of logs (hundreds of megabytes) stuffed into your home folder (they never heard about Library/Caches or Library/Logs), drags performance and battery life down with their ridiculous real time event processing and often generate conflicts out of thin air for no reason, especially for frequently changing small files, like source code or git. Synology Drive on macOS specifically is horribly written resource hog. My only regret - I should have done it sooner. Ended up spending about $400 on a set of software I use every day (things like Panic Transmit, BBEdit, Things, and a few specialized tools). Personally I gave up on trying to find good free tools. In terms of ease of setup? Both resilio and duck are configured in two clicks. You don’t pay anything for Synology apps. What you pay is what you get usually holds true. Mountain duck and rclone are is free and robust. They do support selective sync in paid version. I don’t think resilio supports sync on demand.
